its my first invert/empire gun, im looking for loader that will progress with me not something i will replace in six months time, so my choices have always been the top 3
rotor, z2 and spire but it all comes down to money

invert halo too is bombproof and feeds well in excess of 10bps, which is all that a novice player right up to professional needs? heck i'm sure a few of the guys on Icon still use velocity loaders.

A hopper's primary function is feeding paintballs (which even old JT eggs will do), everything else is optional extras.

I had a geo 2 & a rotor in 2011 season & was happy with both products. Our team picked up a sponsorship deal from Kee action sports for 2012 season so I sold them on & bought an Axe & a z2. first impression of the Axe was the way the board was programmed was a pain in the ring & ate 9v's. So I bought a redline & its no different from the geo 2 now. doesnt break even the most fragile paint & a user friendly lcd display for changing settings & batteries last months. (I would recommend one for your mini).

The z2 right out of the box performed flawlessly & still does 18 months later. (top tip for the z2 is use the duracell batteries with the power checker as it generally has only flattened one after a training day/ tourney & it saves you a fortune)

Hope this helps

helped alot, redline for mini. all the high end loaders seem to have their own different pros and cons this is gonna be a tough decision

£30 very appealing :)
indeed. the problem is tracking them down because once people have them they don't want to let go. biggest regret is selling mine when i upgraded. but now that i've settled on a z2 I'd need to lose a heap of money by selling a rotor i bought new and then buying the halo new because nobody is selling them. isn't it great having like £200+ tied up in hoppers :'(

Aha, £200 in hoppers?, that's a lot (for us teenagers playing the sport)
Funding is something I need to change, getting myself a little job looks to be the best way forward if I want to keep playing :)
